I am looking for help dating a Penn Yan Rainbow The specifics are as follows.
16 footer, two mahogany thwarts
Serial # RN 391; Yes that is all of it, very clear.
Outside oak stems,all mahogany trim Including both rails.
Half ribs in the floor.
Seats were replaced, no idea what the originals looked like but like likey mahogany as the replacements were stained. New ones might be in the photos, please disregard they were hand caned by customer request.
My guess it was near 1950 because of the half ribs, but the all Mahogany trim is odd for that date.
